Start your real estate career

If you’re an avid watcher of HGTV or follow any of the career TikTok accounts, you’re probably well-aware of how lucrative a real estate career can be. You can earn a significant income selling real estate and have more freedom and flexibility than a traditional 9 to 5 job. The question that many of you may be wondering is: How do I even get started? If you’ve ever considered getting your real estate license and you happen to live in Pennsylvania, we have the answers you’ve been looking for.

If you’ve ever considered a real estate career, you’re probably already aware that all 50 states and Canadian provinces regulate the real estate industry and require salespeople to be licensed. To be compensated for bringing a buyer and seller together, you must become a Real Estate Agent in Pennsylvania. The Commonwealth of PA sets the requirements of obtaining a real estate license. They include an education requirement followed by successful completion of an exam.

REAL ESTATE FUNDAMENTALS

30 hours

Real Estate Fundamentals is the first class required to obtain a real estate license in PA. This fundamentals class goes over the real estate basics, such as law, contracts, and the definition of real estate. You must pass an exit exam to get credit. There is also an attendance requirement of 80%, although you should aim for 100% to avoid missing anything.

REAL ESTATE PRACTICE

45 hours

Real Estate Practice is the second of the two courses in the series. It covers the business side of real estate, including state laws, financing, and running the business. There is also an exit exam and an attendance requirement similar to the fundamentals course. Each class is graded, including attendance, but you do not have to take both classes consecutively. As a matter of fact, you do not even have to take them at the same school. Which means, if you took your first class somewhere else, you can still join us for practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

HAVE A QUESTION THAT'S NOT ON THIS LIST? SEND US A MESSAGE SO THAT WE CAN HELP!

Is there a virtual option to take classes?

If you register for our Pre-Licensure course, we offer an option to attend class via Zoom on occasion due to extenuating circumstances. However, we firmly believe that part of what makes our class stand out is physically being present in the learning environment. In person learning is proven to be the most effective learning method, and we pride ourselves on being able to deliver that experience.

What happens after I complete this course?

After completing both classes with a passing score, meeting the attendance requirement, and paying tuition in full, you will receive your transcripts. This means you will be eligible to sign up for the State exam. Before signing up, you will login to the Pearson Vue website to view the instructions on how to prove your eligibility. Once your eligibility is approved, you may schedule your exam.

What is on the State exam?

The State exam is comprised of two sections: state (40 questions) and national (80 questions). You must pass both parts, but can take each part again separately if you do not pass the first time.

What happens after I pass the state exam?

When you pass the state exam, you are eligible for a real estate license in PA. In the State of Pennsylvania, you must hang your license with an employing broker. You should  begin your employment search while still in real estate school so that you are ready as soon as you pass your exam. In PA, you are additionally required to renew your license every two years on May 31 of the even-numbered years. You must complete a  14-hour continuing education requirement each cycle to complete the renewal.

Are there different payment options?

The cost of real estate class in PA varies significantly between the different schools and courses offered. At this time, the fees can range anywhere from $149 to $795. The fee for both classes at JBREA is currently $555.

Although the cost might be an essential factor, this fee should be considered an investment in your education and future earning potential. Choose your education based on quality and desire rather than cost alone. At JBREA we recognize the importance of a quality real estate education and want to lower entry barriers. That is why we are proudly offering a payment plan option.

Raving Reviews

"Wow! What can I say? 100 star review!

This is the best real estate school you can attend. I highly recommend Janis! She knows her stuff and she is extremely invested into the knowledge behind real estate. I have taken other courses and none of them compared or kept my interests like JBREA! She’s been in the game for a long time & is very experienced. I took my real estate exam and PASSED ON THE FIRST TRY. I wouldn't have done it without her! "

-Chyna

"Janis' classes are a must!

The knowledge I gained from her pre-licensure courses are unmatched. I took a fundamentals course before online and it was a bad experience for me but Janis’ expertise kept me engaged & entertained! 10/10 experience, highly recommended!"

-Tinisha

"I cannot recommend her enough!

I took the online schooling for real estate in 2020 and I failed miserably. I’ve learned more in 2 weeks with Janis than I ever did with the online courses. She’s extremely knowledgeable and down to earth. I highly recommend you start your real estate career today with Janis!"
